[Geomoose-users] TRANSPARENCY PROBLEM

[Dan Little]

I'm going to have to be quick with this one 'cuz I'm sorta busy today.

1) You'll have better results with GIF across different browsers.
2) The MAP needs TRANSPARENT set to ON
3) Set the background color to white.
4) Setting transparency to "20" inside the layer will cause undesirable results in GeoMOOSE as the default transparency is set in the <map> tag's opacity attribute.

Hi guys,
I need suggestions for the following problems:
 
 I want to put transparency on polygon layer so that aerial photo could be seen below it. I have tried TRANSPARECY and OPACITY but i only get faded not transparent layer. My imagetype is PNG. Here is the mapfile
 
MAP
 NAME 'School_boundary'
 SIZE 800 650
 STATUS ON
 EXTENT  347683.125124 1652890.274125 458837.845673 1759026.124282
 UNITS feet
 FONTSET '../fonts/fonts.list'
 SYMBOLSET '../symbols/symbol.sym'
    OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME 'png'
    DRIVER GD/PNG
    IMAGEMODE RGBA
    EXTENSION "png"
    FORMATOPTION "FULL_RESOLUTION=TRUE"
    FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
    TRANSPARENT ON
    END #end outputformat
 #IMAGETYPE PNG
 QUERYMAP
  STATUS ON
  STYLE SELECTED
 END
 WEB
       IMAGEURL "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
       IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
 END
 LEGEND
  STATUS ON
 END

  LAYER
    NAME 'School_district'
    TYPE POLYGON
    DATA '/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_countydemo/social_service/school_boundaries.shp'
    METADATA
      'wms_title' 'school_boundary'
    END
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TRANSPARENCY 20
    #MAXSCALE 2000000
    LABELITEM 'NAME'
    CLASS
       NAME 'esn_boundary'
       STYLE
         SYMBOL 0
         SIZE 2
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 170
         COLOR 224 255 255
       END
     LABEL
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT arial
      SIZE 8
      COLOR 233 122 100
      ANGLE 0
      POSITION CC
      MINDISTANCE 250
      BUFFER 1
      WRAP " "
     END
    END
  END
END
 
Thanks
